Good fun under the Provencal sun
A yearly tradition in the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ community for more than a decade now, the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Games offer a pleasant way to reconnect among colleagues and neighbours after the summer recess. On Saturday 14 September, just over 700 people took part.
Tennis, kayak, mountain biking, trail running, football, the Provencal boule sport of pétanque, and (new this year as a demonstration) handball—there was something for every athlete at the 11th °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Games in Vinon-sur-Verdon on Saturday 14 September.
The games are organized for the staff and contractors working on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ project, their families, and local sportsmen and women from the towns of Vinon-sur-Verdon and Saint Paul-lez-Durance.
Games for childen, a bouncy castle, lunch on the village square, an awards ceremony and live music rounded out the day's athletic program.
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Games associations thank the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization, Agence Iter France, the neighboring towns, and corporate sponsors Apave, Assytem, Daher, Engage, Vinci, Ferrovial, Razel-Bec, Dalkia and MOMENTUM for their support.
